The twentieth season of Matt Groening’s The Simpsons introduces the corpse-desecrating act of “teabagging” to the stalwart Simpsons fan in a not-so-subtle nod to Bungie’s Halo 3, complete with mostly accurate Xbox 360 controllers.
That near-accuracy may lead some to speculate that the grinding of one’s digital undercarriage on the armoured cadaver of a fallen foe is product placement. But the inaccuracies and, we assume, the corporate shying away from publicising virtual ball-dropping online, would make me think this is just a silly reference.
And such a topical one!
